This comment makes a lot of good points.

I think we can stop recommending License and Contributors since GitLab is mostly used for closed source software. The templates will still be there but just not suggested until you started to create a new file.

And you should be able to disable everything but the repo if you want to. And of course you can disable the repo as well if you just want the planning features for example.

Also please put in place this simple UI rule: "If it doesn't need attention don't make it coloured or bold"

e.g. thumbs up/down, report abuse etc.

Thanks for the examples.

BYW There is also a reply in this thread from a GitLab UX team-member who responds to a comment about the thumbs up/down and report abuse buttons https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23606854
